6 matrix questions, with worked answers.

Choose the figure that completes each matrix to check your answer. Look for a rule that explains the completed rows or columns, then apply it to the missing cell. These original teaching examples need no account and are not official Matrigma questions.

Example 1: Find the missing figure

Which figure completes the matrix? Within each small figure, marks fill consecutive positions from the top left, moving left to right, then continuing on the next line.

How to solve matrix questions

  1. 1

    Separate the features

    Compare position, number, direction, shape, and fill. A matrix can change more than one feature at once, so track each one separately.

  2. 2

    Check the whole relationship

    Test your rule against another completed row or column. A pattern that explains only two neighbouring figures may be incomplete.

  3. 3

    Predict before comparing answers

    Describe the missing figure, then examine all six options. Watch for an answer that gets one rule right but misses another.

  4. 4

    Use the review to diagnose errors

    Name the relationship you missed: movement, distribution, rotation, or a combination rule. Practice that reasoning without a clock before another timed sitting.

Matrigma practice questions

What is the Matrigma assessment?

Matrigma is Assessio’s non-verbal reasoning assessment. You identify the rules connecting eight figures in a three-by-three matrix and choose the missing ninth figure from six options. It tests reasoning with visual relationships, rather than vocabulary or a separate arithmetic section.

How many questions are there, and how long do I have?

Adaptive Matrigma lasts up to 12 minutes, with 60 seconds per item and a maximum of 40 items. The number presented can vary; it is not a fixed 40-question paper. Our timed practice uses these time limits and a 40-item cap. Our shorter learning mode has 12 questions without a timer.

Is this practice adaptive?

Our practice starts with an easier item and adjusts the next question’s difficulty after your response. The three difficulty levels are our editorial judgments. This is adaptive-style practice, not Assessio’s calibrated adaptive test, and its accuracy or difficulty levels cannot be converted into an official score.

Is Matrigma the same as MAP or Alva?

No. MAP is a separate personality assessment, although an employer may invite you to take both MAP and Matrigma. Alva is a different assessment provider. Check the name in your invitation so you prepare for the right test.

Can I return to questions or pause the timer?

In our practice you move forward one question at a time. You can change your selected answer before moving on, or skip that question permanently. When time expires, your current selection is recorded and you move on, or the sitting finishes if the overall time has expired. Timed practice keeps counting through reloads and while the tab is in the background. Closing the tab can remove unfinished practice data. These are our practice controls; follow the instructions in your actual assessment.

Is the practice free?

The worked examples are free without an account. Eligible accounts can try each short drill once; your account shows the available access. One Matrigma pass covers drill replays and full timed practice. Saved results and explanations stay free.

Will my result tell me whether I will pass?

No. Your review shows your correct answers, unanswered questions, pacing, and explanations for our original questions. It does not estimate an official Matrigma C-score, IQ, percentile, or hiring outcome. Different question paths and repeated practice can change raw accuracy, so use the review to understand your reasoning.

Does this cover classic Matrigma?

This practice focuses on the adaptive format. Assessio also describes a less common classic version with a 40-minute time limit. The visual reasoning methods can still help with familiarisation, but this is not a classic-format simulation. Follow the version and timing in your invitation.
